Friends of Smyrna Library Announce “SOUPER” Friends Event

The Friends of Smyrna Library (FOSL) invites the public to their “SOUPER” Friends Membership Drive on Saturday, January 29 from 11AM to 1PM in the Smyrna Public Library Program Room. This annual event provides soup and crackers, door prizes, and an opportunity to learn about one of the little-known, but amazing ways to support Smyrna’s local public library.

Since the mid-1980s, FOSL has walked alongside Smyrna Public Library to help provide for programming that the library’s annual budget cannot completely cover. Through grant writing and fundraisers as well as innumerable volunteer hours, FOSL has helped provide computers, library furniture, books and much more to keep literacy and important programs at the forefront of our community.

Membership is open for 2022

Members support and promote Smyrna Public Library through their FOSL memberships as well as donations of time and money throughout the year. Annual Memberships for 2022 are open at the event, and include Student Memberships for $5; Individual Memberships for $10; Family Memberships for $25; and Organization Memberships for $50. Individuals can also purchase an Individual Lifetime Membership for a one-time payment of $250.

“FOSL is a wonderful way that the community can support the town of Smyrna’s public library and get to know other community members,” said 2022 FOSL President Theresa Pickett. “I cannot wait to welcome new members who will join us on our mission this year to provide the absolute best services we can for our community through the Smyrna Public Library.”
